Everybody Hurts
From: Automatic For The People
(transcribed from official songbook)
When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
when you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on.
Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.
Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along.
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
if you feel like letting go, (hold on)
when you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on.
Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends.
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand.
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone
If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
when you think you've had too much of this life to hang on.
Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes.
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. (repeat & fade)
(Everybody hurts. You are not alone.)

RIVER
YOUNG & STRONG HOLLYWOOD SON
IN THE EARLY MORNING LIGHT
THIS STAR FELL DOWN
ON SUNSET BOULEVARD
YOUNG & STRONG BEAUTIFUL ONE
WE EMBRACED SO CLOSE
IS GONE
WAS TORN AWAY
LET THE YOUTH OF AMERICA MOURN
INCLUDE HIM IN THIER PRAYERS
LET HIS IMAGE LINGER ON
REPEAT IT EVERYWHERE
WITH CANDELS WITH FLOWERS
HE WAS ONE OF OURS
WHY DON'T YOU LET HIM BE?
HE'S GONE
WE KNOW
GIVE HIS MOTHER AND FATHER PEACE
YOUR VOLTURE'S CANDOR
YOUR CASUAL SLANDER
YOU MURDER HIS MEMORY
HE'S GONE
WE KNOW
IT'S NOTHING BUT A TRAGEDY
LAY TO REST YOUR SOUL AND BODY
LAY BESIDE YOUR NAME
LAY TO REST YOUR RAGE
YOUR HUNGER & AMAZING GRACE
WITH CANDLES WITH FLOWERS
YOU WERE ONE OF OURS
ONE OF OURS
I SAW CAMERA'S EXPOSE YOUR LIFE
I HEARD RUMORS EXPLODE WITH LIES
I SAW CHILDREN IN TEARS
CRY AND CROWD AROUND THE SIGHT
OF WHERE YOU HAD COLLAPSED THAT DAY
WHERE YOUR LAST BREATH AND WORD
HAD BEEN SIGHTED
WHERE YOUR HEART HAD BURST
WHERE YOU HAD DIED
I SAW HOW THEY WERE LOST IN GREVING
ALL HALF BELIEVING YOU WERE GONE
THE LOSS 7 PAIN OF IT
CRIME & SAME OF IT
YOU WERE GONE
IT WAS SUCH A NIGHTMARE RAVING
"HOW COULD WE SAVE HIM FROM HIMSELF?"
would you please put this song on your site? It is such a great song.
Thankyou.
A Phoenix Fan Forever,
Jessie Elston
enjoy:
The vines grow over me
And make me drunk
They violate me
And penitrate me
They make me drunk
With plesure
With pride
With simple child like innocence
And simple child like joys
I go back to a drunked childhood
Remember the simplist pleasures
Borrowed from someone else
Remember,
I don't want to
It hurts to recall
The pain in my heart
The supression
I dont want to remember
If it was that bad
So bad I dont know
Maybe it was actualy good. . . I dont know
So I let the vines grow
Over me and they make me drunk,
with plesure.
its kinda short but oh well
